Companies worried about losing a dime here or there call it piracy, but sharing communities are what I call them. As I said, the shows that turn out to be worthwhile still get their money from me, when the DVDs come out. I bought the first season of Game of Thrones 2 weeks ago, but I watched the second season episodes the day after every one else did. And I will buy all of the seasons as they come out but I don't care to wait until the DVDs to watch just because I also don't care to have cable.
I'll admit it's a grey area in the world of the internet but I've found my way to be okay with it and if the corporations are run by smart people, they will continue to turn a blind eye.
